Asst. Prof. Tomislav Capuder is one of thirteen recipients (the only one from Croatia!) of the Danubius Young Scientist Award. This prestigious award gathers 70 universities from 14 countries within the Danube region. This year's ceremony took place at the University of Zagreb and was chaired by prof. Damir Boras, rector of the University of Zagreb. The award was given to Tomislav and other recipients by Barbara Weitgruber, general director of the Scientific Research and International Collaboration Department of the Austrian Federal Ministry for Education and Research (BMWF), Maive Rute, deputy director of the Joint Research Center of the European Commission (JRC), and dr. Erhard Busek, president of the Institute for Danube Region and Central Europe (IDM).

Bernard Energy (BEA); the European Distribution System Operators’ Association for Smart Grids (EDSO for Smart Grids); the European Network of Transmission System Operators for Electricity (ENTSO-E); the Union of the Electricity Industry - EURELECTRIC (EURELECTRIC) and the Florence School of Regulation (FSR) have the pleasure to announce the launch of the 1st Scholarship Award in Memoriam of Ana Aguado.

On 16th January 2017 a public presentation of the 3Smart project was held in Zagreb on the premises of University of Zagreb Faculty of Electrical Engineering and Computing who is the lead partner on the project. The event attracted a significant number of participants from different sectors representing government, industry and academia. The project 3Smart is funded by the European Union through the Interreg Danube Transnational Programme.

A new project in SGLab ''Smart Building - Smart Grid - Smart City" (3Smart) started on the 1st of January 2017. The main goal of the project is to provide a technological and legislative setup for cross-spanning energy management of buildings, energy grids and major city infrastructures in the Danube region. This includes the development of a modular platform for coordinated building and distribution grid energy management. The developed platform will be installed on 5 pilot locations in 5 countries (Croatia, Slovenia, Austria, Hungary and Bosnia and Herzegovina) and comprehensive cost-benefit analysis will be performed to verify the platform’s performance. Our faculty is the Lead Partner on the project and in its execution participate Laboratory for Renewable Energy Systems (focussed on the buildings side) andSmart Grid Laboratory (focussed on the grid side).

Prof. Igor Kuzle is the recepient of this year's award SCIENCE by the Faculty of Electrical Engineering and Computing, University of Zagreb for exceptional research results in the previous five years. This is the result of the an ongoing hard work and publications in top journals in the field of energy systems. This is already third year in a row that this award goes to our Department. We wonder who will continue this amazing streak :)

On Tuesday, June 28, and Wednesday, June 29, as a part of the projects SIREN (Smart Integration of RENewables), financed by the Croatian TSO HOPS and the Croatian Science Foundation HRZZ, and uGRIP (microGRId Positioning), financed by the Environmental Protection and Energy Efficiency Fund through the ERA Net Smart Grid + inictiative, we are preparing a workshop on Mathematical Modeling in Power Systems. The following lectures will take place:

Mr. Branko Kondić, the executive director of LMG Autokuća, which is the general distributor of Mitsubishi Motors for Croatia, will give a talk on E-mobility in Practice on Tuesday, January 19, 2016 at 10 am in TCR, located on the ground floor of A building at FER. Everyone is welcome to attend!

On November 26, 2015, the Department of Energy and Power System received a donation from company Ducati Komponenti Ltd. The company representatives have deliver us a Free Duck4 electric vehicle, Free Duck 2 electric bicycle and an EV charging station. This equipment will be used in projects Electric Vehicle Battery Swapping Station - EV BASS (financed by the Croatian National Scence Foundation), Flexible Electric Vehicle Charging Infrastructure - FlexChEV (an Era-NET+ Project), and Systems of Low-Carbon and Sustainable Multi-Generation Microgrids - SNOVI (co-financed by the Environmental Protection and Energy Efficiency Fund).

After this, our Department hosted a meeting with the representatives from Ducati Komponenti Ltd, DSO Elektra Koprivnica, and the Croatian National Power Utility.

Pictures of the equipment are available in the expanded version of this announcement.

Dr. Tomislav Capuder is the recipientof this year's award SCIENCE by the Faculty of Electrical Engineering and Computing, University of Zagreb for exceptional research results in the previous two years. This is the result of the an ongoing hard work and publications in top journals in the field of energy.

An E-Mobility meeting between the Croatian DSO Koprivnica, the City of Koprivnica, Ducati Komponenti Ltd and the Faculty of Electrical Engineering and Computing took place at the Croatian DSO Koprivnica headquarters on November 18, 2015. The Croatian DSO representatives Goran Pakasin, Željko Ivančić and Danijel Habijan moderated the meeting and gave important insights to e-mobility from the local DSO perspective.

The mayor of Koprivnica Vesna Želježnjak, her deputy Melita Samoborec, head of the board for sustainable development and European projects Vedrana Knežević and senior expert associate for sustainable development Nebojša Kalanj presented their vast experience with e-mobility in Koprivnica.

Tomislav Capuder and Hrvoje Pandžić talked on the expertise of the Faculty of Electrical Engineering and Computing in E-mobility and their ongoing reserach.

The CEO of Ducati Komponenti Ltd. Dražen Crnković presented the products of his company and gave a talk on the future of e-mobility in Croatia.

The attendees agreed on the future collaboration that should bring closer the interests of the public sector, the industry and the academia.
